You\u2019ve heard about Russian propaganda. Martin once worked for RT, Russia\u2019s state-run news network.Now she\u2019s got a similar gig at teleSUR, an anti-capitalist, pro-socialist news network funded by Latin American leftists. \u2026 One teleSUR video lists countries where \u201ccapitalism failed\u201d: Canada, Mexico, England, Peru, Panama, Switzerland, the United States \u2026 \u00a0Another says that \u201cTrump is killing our brains with Nazi-era chemicals.\u201d Few viewers know that teleSUR is funded by the tyrants who control Cuba and Venezuela.Martin produced a teleSUR video that shows Venezuelan store shelves filled with goods. Martin narrates, \u201cWe just went to about five different supermarkets and the shelves were fully stocked \u2026 (W)hile it is true there are shortages, it seems like you are very able to find things for everyday life, no problem.\u201dI wanted to interview Martin, but she didn\u2019t respond to my interview requests.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
